Legacy Lyrics

Waking up in a cold sweat from a nightmare

Of me walking out on a big stage

With a knife and ending my life there

Wifey like, I'm right here

Babe you alright, and I'm like yeah

Knowing she can see right through me

Everytime I lie, she quite scared

Of what's going on in my head

Hell so am I

Still battling with depression

That don't mean that I wanna die

Yea I've contemplated suicide

But I'm better now, at least mentally

But I can't lie, it don't feel good

To be 35 and still tryna figure out

What I wanna do, who I wanna be

When I look in the mirror, what do I see

Am I living up to my potential

Did I follow my dreams

When I die, what kind of legacy do I wanna leave

What I wanna do, who I wanna be

When I look in the mirror, what do I see

Am I living up to my potential

Did I follow my dreams

When I die, what kind of legacy do I wanna leave

Will I be the man that my father was

Will I even be half of that

Will I be around long enough

For me to have the chance to answer that

Will I die the same way he did

Due to heart failure and obesity

So many health problems in our history

Realistically, can I manage that

All of my life I been fat

Despite my effort to lose weight

Hell I gained more through the pandemic

No self control, I'm losing faith

I just wanna live long enough

For my cause of death to be old age

But I can't escape these bad habits

Keep going back to my old ways

Some things just hereditary

When you study the genetics

Embedded within you

Man it can get hella scary

If you let it worry you

Before you know it you'll be dead and buried

So cherish the time that you have

Live for the moment, let go of the past

Before your forevers get turned into neveraries

I know everyone wanna be legendary

But legend has it

When you in a casket, in a cemetery

It don't fucking matter

They don't love you now

They won't love you after

If they don't love you now

They won't love you after, yea

Yea

If you're listening right now

Thank you

If this is your first B. ALXNDR project

Welcome to my life

Uh

A window to my soul

Expect a lot of vulnerability

It might get dark

You gon see a side of me that

I don't normally show

But it's real

Authentic, it's me

Just want to leave behind something

That's gon last forever

A legacy

Yea

Yea, yea yea yea
